Životopis

Narodil se v Chicagu 7. ledna 1865 a vyrostl v St. Louis, jeho otec byl George Bain a matka Clara Mather. V roce 1890 absolvoval Univerzitu v St. Louis obor práv. Nejdříve pracoval pro United Press, v roce 1898 založil první zpravodajský fotografický servis Bain News Service. Společnost poskytovala fotografické služby, včetně portrétů a zpravodajství o nových událostech po celém světě, se zvláštním důrazem na život v New Yorku. Bainovy zpravodajské snímky z celého světa byly distribuovány do různých novin na oplátku výměnou za tamější fotografie. Velká škála témat zahrnovala: celebrity, přehlídky, sportovní akce, imigraci, politické události, letectví, první světovou válku nebo mexickou revoluci.

Zemřel v roce 1944 v Manhattanu.[1]
